The Road Warrior_360P

The dog dies. An utter disaster. The dog was the only good part of this 80s montage.

Pretty much a rehash of the first one, only now there's an explanation of how this post-apocalyptic world came to be what it is (the original never explained it). In the role that made him famous in the US, Mel Gibson continues to go around fighting bad guys in the Australian desert. Overall, I don't think that "Mad Max 2" (called "The Road Warrior" in North America) was anything special; it was mostly nice brainless fun (that one really big chase towards the end was fun, I'll admit that). Just how many kick-ass movies set in a post-apocalyptic world can there be? To tell you the truth, Mel Gibson has never been one of my favorite actors; I actually view him with some scorn.

If you consider this movie as a movie on its own, it's an average flick. Not great, but still entertaining. If you watch it together with Mad Max I and II, it becomes an annoying movie full of plot holes. Some examples: 1. What happened with the gyro captain? In Mad Max 2 the road warrior, the gyro captain with his helicopter eventually teamed up with Max and ended up leading the small colony of the compound toward a new civilization. In Mad Max 3 he still has a flying machine, but this time he has a son, he lives in some kind of house-hole in the desert, and robs Mad Max from all his belongings. He and Max don't seem to have met before neither. Is this a different character than the gyro captain? Is this the same character? He's certainly played by the same actor and he still has a flying machine. This doesn't make any sense at all. 2. In the Road Warrior, Mad Max's car (the last V8-interceptor) was completely blown to pieces. In Mad Max 3, this car miraclously reincarnates, and even contains exactly the same boobytrap. Or maybe he bought a new one??? How many 'last of the V8 interceptors' can there be? Too bad his dog, who died in the Road Warrior, didn't reincarnate as well. 3. What happened to civilization? In Mad Max I, Max even watched television at one point. Civilization was in decay and anarchy was rising, but infrastructure was still okay. There were hospitals, restaurants, night clubs, ambulances, newsreporters, etc… Okay, at the end of the first movie Max wanders into the waste land, leaving this civilization behind. But what happened to it? Has everything turned into wasteland? Are there some pieces of traditional society left, thousands of miles away from where the action in the story takes place (as suggested in the Road Warrior)? It is okay not to explain everything, and you can leave a lot to the imagination of the viewer, but some logic,some suggestions and clues might be in its place. 4. In this movie it is suggested that Max was a cop before some kind of apocalypse took place. The first mad max movie however, where Max was a cop, was already set after the decay has begun and after some kind of war. Or maybe a second nuclear war (this movie refers to water contaminated by radio-activity) or another world war took place after the events in the first Mad Max movie? Or not? How do the children from the planecrash fit in this story? Sometimes it tends to be a sequel (at one point the movie refers clearly to the history of Max and the personal drama that struck him in Mad Max I) sometimes it tends to be some kind of remake of Mad Max II the Road Warrior (recapturing some of the same dialogue, a kind of gyro captain, a settlement in the middle of nowhere), sometimes it tends to be another movie with new characters played by the same actors (a bit like Sergio Leone's spaghetti-westerns with Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef), with the exception of Mad Max who's still Mad Max. It seems to be a bit of everything, so in the end it doesn't make any sense at all. Moreover, this movie seems to be directed by two different directors. The first half of the movie still contains the raw, dark, nihilistic atmosphere of the Road Warrior (with a great action sequence in the Thunderdome), the second half seems to be directed by somebody who had a new Peter Pan movie in mind. It is okay to give the story an optimistic twist after the first two movies (there is still a light at the end of the tunnel), but ending the trilogy with an hour long "children from Neverland against captain hook and his pirates" ... that's just stupid. Not for fans of Mad Max I and II.

The Road Warrior is an excellent film and is extremely entertaining to watch! The film is action packed with incredible stunts, fast paced chases, great acting, and awesome music! Mel Gibson was is very good in the film! Vernon Wells was terrific in The Road Warrior. He did didn't have a whole lot of dialog but the the things he did say was unique and his actions was really neat. The actor who played Lord Humungus was Kjell Nilsson! He is a huge man and is even bigger than Vernon Wells. He also acted very good! I am so amazed about the speed chases and all of the stunt work that it took to make this film! The music by Brian May is excellent! In My opinion its some of the best ever composed for a movie! This is the sequel to Mad Max and there is another one called Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. The Road Warrior is arguably the best of the series! If you like Mel Gibson, Vernon Wells, incredible action, and stunts then Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior is the movie for you!

Neil Marshall, who happens to be one of my favourite directors, actually failed to create any real excitement in his 80s homage 'Doomsday'. It copied a lot of elements from the Mad Max films, but it didn't work out. 'Road Warrior' managed to be silly, funny, scary, exciting, and altogether outrageous, but it was a delight to watch from beginning to end. It's one of those films that venture into the territory of utter silliness and somehow make it work. It is a rare achievement, and I applaud the filmmakers for what they accomplished with 'Road Warrior'. The humour in the film is rather crude, but still most enjoyable. I find it astonishing that they put a bald bodybuilder with a mask and SM-outfit in the film and somehow made it work. Moreover the bodybuilder proceeds to put a maniac with bare butt cheeks into an arm lock and then chains him to a car as punishment for misbehaving, and yet the film remains enjoyable and the action believable. We remain in the universe the film creates, despite its outrageous character. And that is an incredible accomplishment. What really makes the film work are the action sequences. There is a lot of driving here, and although I am no fan of car chases, these chases I absolutely loved. There are great stunts here, no CGI, no cheap tricks. These stunts are real and the action is well choreographed. I give this film ten stars simply for managing to ride that fine line between great entertainment and utter silliness. As many other films proved, it's a hard line to ride.

Mad Mad 2, The Road Warrior never fails to impress. A low budget masterpiece of film-making. The films gritty kinetic energy is done out on an open highway in an Australian Desert. A Future of no law...of no order...of pure survival amongst those who wish to keep humanity alive. The film is more advanced than it's predecessor, toning down on the words and focusing on the action. It also utilizes Mel Gibson's youthful heroic image without cliché. He is a wonderful hero and creation. The film is a marvel to look upon at times with it's rapid cuts and car stunts. The actors all fit well into this world of chaos especially the little Feral boy and his boomerang. Sexual images emerge throughout and the homo erotic undertones lie very close to the subconscious. The Antagonists and Protagonists play well off each other. Evil vs Good. The evil in this film is scary!!! A future after a Mass Destruction where Gasoline is Gold and Humanity is an endangered species. One of my favorite films.

Brutal, savage and animalistic, George Miller's "The Road Warrior" is a much more fully developed imagining of a post-apocalyptic Australia where gasoline equals power than its predecessor, "Mad Max" a much sloppier science-fiction experiment. Seeing how it takes a big step ahead of that film, it's no surprise the studios preferred a new title and placed "Mad Max 2" more in the shadow. At the same time, however, the Mad Max series is not a fully-realized science-fiction concept. I don't think that any film that paints a picture of a bleak future for humankind can possibly do that with great meaning and understanding for the viewer in under 100 minutes, which both films are. I'm not surprised these were made 2 years apart because they rely on each other yet neither is strong enough to stand on its own ("Road Warrior" provides prologue even). Instead, "The Road Warrior" is more a stylized, gritty, vehicular action film centered around a science-fiction idea. It's an artistic imagining that shies away instead of aggressively taking on the ideas its concept suggests about mankind. The prologue summarizes that Mel Gibson is Mad Max, a former cop in a world dependent on gasoline who loses his only loved ones due to gangs involved with excessive road violence. He takes his revenge and lives a lonesome scavenger of fuel until he finds and offers help to a colony of people who are antagonized by similar gangs. Max is a mysterious character, but his coolness and complete lack of character depth is more annoying than it does to show how he's not the man he once was. I simply can't be anything more than slightly entertained by a film whose characters are hollow shells and uses minimal dialogue that does nothing but move the plot. The rest of the cast is forgettable and not worthy of mention. If Miller was trying to make a point with any of this, it doesn't work. "Road Warrior" only wins some of my approval because Miller gives it a very unique flavor. His vision is one of recycled materials and modified cars, bikes and the like that turn into demolition machines with costumes made of football pads and hockey masks (let's not forget ass-less chaps and other creepy uses of leather in the film). No film could ever really borrow any of those ideas without it being an homage to this series. I wouldn't call the action the best, but it is highly engaging and definitely unlike any car chase and explosions movie you've ever seen. The violence is much, much better than "Mad Max" and this really helps the film be serious. When people get shot a lot and die and there's no blood to show for it, nothing really sinks in. Gladly, "Road Warrior" doesn't do that. The last scene is really well shot and definitely memorable. Miller puts modern explosion master Michael Bay to shame in terms of inventive ways of exploding stuff and exaggeration of such stunts. "Road Warrior" will be likable for those that can take their science-fiction dishes served cold, with unique and imaginative action. For those who need substance, "Road Warrior" does not indulge enough despite the possibilities.

Mad Max 2 (1981) *** 1/2 (out of 4) A post-apocalyptic wasteland in Australia is the setting for this riveting sequel that finds Max (Mel Gibson) being a drifter who is constantly on the look out for rare gasoline. Gas has become a battling ground for a vicious gang but Max finds out about a location where a group of survivors have been able to produce it. The only problem is transporting it, which Max agrees to help with in exchange for enough to get him to his next location. MAD MAX 2 is a very rare sequel that actually manages to be better than the original film. This here really doesn't happen too often but director George Miller takes everything that made the original so good and adds a ton of adrenaline to the action and makes for quite a memorable movie. Fans of the original film are going to be happy that the rawness also gets carried over here but with even more wicked stunts and more action, it's impossible not to fall for this film. What makes it so memorable are the incredible action scenes. As with the first film, you can't help but watch them with your jaw on the floor as you wonder how no one was killed during the production. These action scenes aren't made through editing but instead they're just downright dirty and dangerous stunts that are incredible to watch in full speed. I'm not going to ruin the most memorable stunts but the finale is just one miraculous scene after another as Max goes speeding down a road in a semi followed by countless bad guys. The amount of destruction on display is enough to please any action fan. It's these scenes here that make this movie a classic and one of the best action films of its era. We're also given a great supporting cast with everyone fitting their roles quite nicely. Of course, the main star is Gibson who manages to be even better here than he was in the first film. He isn't given too much dialogue but he manages to really come across in a believable fashion as this drifter who once again finds himself with nothing and a reason to fight. Everything else from the wonderful score to the terrific cinematography just takes the material and raises it to new levels. MAD MAX 2 is a pure adrenaline rush from start to finish and with the borrowed elements of YOJIMBO, one can't help but be entertained.
